Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Grease an 11x7x2 inch baking dish.
  2. Place cubed summer squash and a small amount of water in a large saucepan. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Drain the squash well to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained squash, chopped green pepper, chopped onion, cooked pork sausage, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, and salt.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the squash and sausage mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the dry bread crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
